First I THINK I found the root of the issue. I tried both options suggested in this thread. Changing DNS or doing the Video Reset under settings didn't work for me. What seems to be the issue is what is called "Double-NAT" in networking terms. My VZ FIOS is connected directly into a Ubiquity Router (you might have a Verizon or AT&T router or something else) and then plugged into the Ubiquity Router is my Eero 's WiFi that also act as a "secondary" router. https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/207621056-Can-I-double-NAT-my-eero-with-my-current-router-

I removed the Ubiquity yesterday and connected to Eero directly to my Verizon FIOS to remove the "Double-NAT". I validated the issue by plugging the AppleTV directly behind the Ubiquity router (with a Gig switch). MLB worked ! Problem with that is you loose HomeKit and you won't be able to control the AppleTV via your iPhone AppleTV in Control Center. So after I vetted the fix I went to a single router and made Eero the router. Hope this helps !
